50 oz tropicana low acid
1/4 packet windsor yeast
nutrient
1 cup sugar

This stuff was insanely strong smelling.

It was about 8% abv and almost all of the sugar was completely gone from this

I added about 2 cups of white sugar and heated it with the orange juice until it became liquidized. I then added about 30 oz of mott's cider.

I am trying to bottle carbonate it right now for a little bit and then I plan to heat pasteurize it (while bottled) by boiling it in water to kill anything living inside the bottle.

What do you all think? Has anyone tried anything like this? What would I even call it?
 
People have tried this with oranges, lemmons, etc. They all report that it tastes bad after fermenting. I don't think I've seen anyone do an apple and orange one though. You mentioned it's low acid which is good, but the flavor would still worry me. How does it taste so far?
 
Tastes like orange juice basically hahaha I dumped a ton of sugar in there and then bottled it up and boiled the whole bottle in water for like a half hour to kill any yeast off. Dont want any bottle bombs here! I don't think I would make fermented orange juice any other way because I let the sugar get completely eaten by the yeast basically, so it was really nasty without that. Think eating orange peel or like severely unripened orange lol
